GreatAppeal

Creative agency for charities big and small

GREAT CHOICE

Great Appeal is a creative design and marketing agency with a special talent for helping charities produce successful direct marketing appeals and striking fundraising materials.

We wanted to set up an organisation that catered for the needs of smaller charities – causes that simply can’t afford the fees and inflexibility imposed by the traditional direct marketing agencies.

So Great Appeal was born.

We’re most often asked to create appeals, newsletters, legacy materials and fundraising event packs, both for print and online. We can also advise you on segmentation and testing, manage the print and postage process for you and help you save money.

We’re experienced:Great Appeal can help you with every stage of your fundraising, from content and concepts through helping your print and digital work smartly and powerfully with the whole of your fundraising strategy and donor journeys.

We create persuasive, one-of-a-kind appeals to engage your donors and members, increase response rates and raise funds – working for you and with you every step of the way.

Results-driven, Emma's come from the client side, most recently doubling income for VSO in direct and digital marketing. She’s rigorously tested and analysed online, offline and face-to-face campaigns – and even fundraised door-to-door herself.

Emma’s passions span international development, health, environment and endangered animals, while her background’s in theatre, music and education marketing. Her big love is connecting your donors to the heart of your cause and keeping them loyal to you.

Nick has been in the design business for over 20 years, working for companies such as the BBC and Pearson before setting-up Great Appeal.

His creative flair and eye for striking design has won Nick a number of high profile charity clients over the years. He has worked on many diverse projects – none so bizarre as a charity fun-run for supporters dressed as gorillas!

Becky started out in direct marketing at the BBC before moving to the charity sector more than 10 years ago. She has spent that time creating and delivering successful campaigns, dreaming up unusual fund-raising ideas and courting wealthy donors.

Becky was born to fundraise. In fact she’s so keen, she's climbed mountains, cycled through deserts, walked on hot coals and jumped out of an aeroplane to raise money for charity. But she still thinks that appeal mailings are the safest form of fundraising!
